The Main Event Has Arrived
The 2006 World Seris of Poker Main Event is now upon us!

There are officially at least 8,532 participants, and the word on the street is that there will be up to 500 alternates per day. We will keep you updated as this situation develops.

Wow!!!!

Way more than I was originally predicting.

Makes last year's 5,600 look like diddly-squat.


Really makes seeing those 2003 Chris Moneymaker re-runs look weird.
They had 849 players in that one I believe. And Lon and Nom make a couple of references to how INCREDIBLE it is that they had 800+ players in a single $10k event.

My how times have changed.
Stars sent around 1,500 players or so themselves this year.

And, by the early hand reports, at least that many this year without a clue.

You mean 2003 (year Moneymaker won it)??

I really thought it was 849 but I haven't looked it up recently.

2004 - 2400 I think (raymer)
2005 - 5600 (Hachem)
2006 - 8500+ ??
